Online registration
All new participants must register here between March, 1 and 29 and take our online Placement test on April, 4 at 10am on Stud.IP. This also counts for participants who's last German language course at our Language Centre or who's participation in our Placement test is more than one year ago (before March 2022). Complete beginners must also register here but are not supposed to take the Placement test.
You will receive more information about the Placement test once you have registered. Please note that there will be no further dates.
Please note also that we cannot admit new external participants (not enrolled or not working at CvO Universität Oldenburg or affiliated institutes) except refugees with proof of refugee status.
If your participation in one of our German language courses or in our Placement test is not longer than one year ago (not before March 2022) you can sign up yourself directly on Stud.IP from March, 1 until April, 14 for a corresponding course at your level. In this case you are not supposed to register here.
Please note that it is not possible to skip a level.

Moreover, participants who do not have access to Stud.IP must apply for acceptance as a ‘guest student’ (Gasthörer/in) at the Centre for Lifelong Learning.
